In this five-hour durational performance, chance and sound-sensitivity played important roles. The performance, shown here in stills, was in response to and collaboration with a soundscape created by other artists in the space. It incorporated a suspended 30' hand-sewn collage, a two-step ladder, a rough-hewn rolling platform, and several types of paper and mark making implements. The content alludes to a cathartic and auspicious time in the artist's life (too personal to share here).
